I've been taking pictures since I was about 13 or so and have been collecting antique photographica for over 25 years. I have about 6000 cameras in my collection and another 2500+ images and related photographica pieces.

6000 cameras? Are you serious? I've never taken that many photos!

"The Catepillar Drive"


I got called Ant by some of my co-workers because I have notoriously small handwriting - once described as being like an ants footpprints prints across a page. One day, I needed a name for pc gaming and imaginatively came up with Antman. That was years ago now and used it ever since.

[Alpha_7]

Alpha_7 - Pronouced Alpha Seven (the Underscore is silent, but a vital part of the name )

After using a few other alias that didn't suit, I ended up with Alpha_7, used on all the BBS's back in the day, online, and in the lanning community.

[Heath Bennett]

Mine forum is far too hard to explain - way to complicated.

[Ivanerrol]

My name is a shortend version of Sir Errol of Ivanhoe. Ivanerrol has more of ring to it.

[Steffen]

My nick is the Low German form of Στεφανος (Stephanos) which means "crown". The credit for picking it goes to my parents, though...

For reasons I can't quite remember I didn't use my usual (IRC) nick for this forum, which is dotnet (like my domain). Hence, to keep confusion at bay, simply remember: it is spelled S-t-e-f-f-e-n, but it is pronounced dotnet.

Cheers
Steffen.

[Willigan]

Willigan - had it since high school thanks to someone who mis-heard my surname. Some people think it's becuase I'm a slow learner - 'will again'

Forensic - of course *slaps forehead* So it isn't a variation of N-Sync

My only defence is I was pregnant at the time I created my account here. Those hormones are funny buggers (really wish I had had a better grip on them as I hate the name now).

Deb if you really trully hate it I'm pretty sure Gary or Leigh can change it for you.

Ohh I can see a spate of name changes happening.......
IF they agree.

[radar]

Radar - acronym from RAdio Detection And Ranging

That's not the real reason

I had a nice Golden Retriever named Radar, he was named after Radar in MASH, so thought to use this when I joined the forum.

[blaize]

blaize.....

My dogs name from some years back which then became my first username/e-mail address so now it has been used for many forums etc

[kinetic]

Kinetic as in "kinetic energy" as in "energy of movement"... basically because I'm busy all of the time & never stop!
(also why I picked lil Miss Somersault as my avatar!)

[jdear]

jdear is the first inital of my first name and dear is my last name.
My wife before we married had the last name love.

dont normally use it, but since it fits in with my webby jdear.com I stuck with it.

Normally I use PHYZAR (not to be confused with the crap Daihatsu PYZAR - I had mine way before!) which was a unique name I invented for the days I spent way too much time playing Quake 2 online.

both are readily available anytime I need to sign up for something

Jonathan PS - my avatar is a rare piece of lego from the series playland.

[losfp]

Mine is an acronym. An in-joke between my fiancée and I, and obscure/strange enough that no one ever seems to register it as a username, hence I use it a lot so I have continuity in my usernames.

For those who NEED to know, it stands for "Large, Oddly-Shaped Frilly Pillow" - you know, one of those big L-shaped ones. When I first met her, she had one of those as she had travelled on the overnight XPT train from Melbourne.

It all makes sense now, I've seen quiet a few LOSFPs in my time, thanks for revealing the mystery

Yeah, I'm all over the shop. If you see a losfp registered anywhere else, chances are it's probably me....

Oh, and it's pronounced Loss-Fp (ie: as spelt) - but I tend to spell it out to people.

If you're REALLY unhappy with the name, we occasionally will change it, especially if your new and for some reason or another didn't understand what "username" meant and put something silly in there.

However, if you're a fairly senior member here then you're probably better off keeping your name just so people can remember who you are when you post.

Changing usernames happens every so often, but it's just a username people.

[samester]

samester - pronounced "same stir"

first few days on the job after finishing uni i was challenged to some bogusly cheap pc computer game. the guy that challenged me was the unbeaten office champ. after taunting me i couldn't let this guy win so i hacked the high scores file. everyone had entered a 3 letter name except for the champ ("davester") so i copied his entry and put in "sam" where i thought his 3 letter name was and then bumped up the score.

when i told him i'd beaten his record he looked at the hi scores and shouted "who the fuk is the samester"

needless to say that's what everyone calls me here at work.

[Big Red]

big red is the colour of my truck...
I have lifted the truck 7" so people started calling it big red then they started calling me big red as well and the name sort of stuck.
